The 6.0L injectors are prone to oil latching anyway, so going 10k mile intervals w/ 15w40 is too much IMO. 10k is the max IMO for fuel filters. I will second the recommendation on OEM fuel filters ONLY.
What frequency do you drain the water from the plug?
I got the truck to start with ether. I ran it for 25 minutes or so and shut it off.
I tried to restart it, it cranked for about 7 seconds and slowly fired. I ran it for five to seven minutes and shut it off.
I tried to restart it and it cranks good, but would not fire.
Any thoughts on what to test with that new info?
It will take 2 to 3 days for the scanguage ll to get here.
Bismic, I do not drain the water unless the light goes on, and it has not in quite a while. But when I changed the filters the other day, it did not have any water in it.
If no ficm light, I drain about 1/2 pint every oil change which I do every 5,000 miles or 6 months which ever comes first. Read the owners manual if you have one. Incidentally I use synthetic 5W40 and still change at stated intervals. Cheap ins. Injectors are expensive and the labor is even higher.
05+ has a few issues with the HPO system
being STC Fitting cracking,standpipes,and or dummey plugs leaking
That's what it sounds like to me 2.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE throw the ether can away before you bust your piston lands, rings, or lift the heads completely off the truck. That crap is BAD for a glowplug motor.
